Industry Partners
We connect colleges and universities with corporate partners to expand experiential learning opportunities for students.
A liaison for higher ed and corporate partners
Bridging education and industry, PeopleGrove helps universities by recruiting companies to create High-Impact Practices (HIPs) with faculty oversight. These corporate-sponsored, course-embedded, project-based learning opportunities give students, regardless of modality, career experience relevant to their degrees.
Expand Experiential Learning
Offering HIPs Guidance
Internships, project-based learning opportunities, and other High-Impact Practices where a student learns by experience, through working on a real world project, are highly beneficial. For a university to offer these experiential learning opportunities, it often requires collaboration with a corporate partner – especially to ensure they’re designed and executed as true HIPs for students.

Relationship Management
Scale Experiential Learning
PeopleGrove supports faculty as they deliver and oversee HIPs and experiential learning opportunities in the classroom. By managing the corporate relationship on a university’s behalf and actively recruiting industry partners, PeopleGrove makes it easier for institutions to bring more HIPs opportunities to courses and certificate programs.
Connecting Company Projects & University Classes
As the nation’s leading solution in HIPs, developed alongside preeminent researchers, we understand for experiential learning to have the greatest impact, student assessment needs to take place and schools need to be able to analyze its effectiveness.
Course-embedded
We work with both parties to establish curriculum connections – helping universities set learning objectives for experiential learning and matching a school’s available courses to company projects.
Measurable Assessment
We guide companies to ensure they’re creating Student Projects where student outcomes can be tracked, measured, and assessed.

“We're executing experiential learning at scale, from curriculum development to assessment development, with our career and professional development staff, our evaluation faculty, and our instruction faculty. [We’re incorporating experiential learning] with courses because it provides equitable opportunities for all students. PeopleGrove is a big part of our collaboration to make sure we have projects that are aligned with the skills students are learning in the program and for them to be able to demonstrate the competencies that we're asking for in each of those courses.”
“We have big companies hire a lot of our students and hire a lot of our interns in big batches, and we have lots of career fairs. But we had to do enhancements to close gaps. With PeopleGrove, we are very strategically bringing in undergraduate research opportunities, research lab opportunities, and government opportunities.”
